    Great location for a peaceful stay. The host was amazing, showed us all of the animals and even let the children feed the lambs. Great facilities for children. Accommodation was spotless. They even left us tea, coffee, milk and cereal.

    A convenient but quiet location. Good size sitting and sleeping space. Clean and well decorated rooms. Everything needed for cooking. Easy parking. On the outskirts of Bere Alston, which is served by a decent width road.
